140. There is only one creature that can emit breath

140.

The first impression of the last mountain range, Amurtat, was very simple.

Rough.

It was located in the deepest part, so despite being the smallest in scale, it was good to say that the steepness was similar to that of the two previous mountain ranges combined.

If the Casselprime Mountains are like a superb view with strong trees blooming on the cliffs of rock – Of course, apart from the fact that both mountain ranges are rugged – the Kradmesser Mountains are a plateau with grasses blooming in the crevices of rocks. It was a garden inside.

On the other hand, the Amurtat Mountains were a forest made of rocks. The forest made of sharp rocks was a dense forest. In a way, it wasn’t that big, but it was similar to Where I met Miss Renemier.

The height of the stone trees that made up the forest was so huge that it was about half the height of the Cassel Prime Mountains. However, this too was of average size, and there were also trees with full height equal to the height of the cliff itself. The forest also had the characteristics of Mount Ethelbeyer. The huge rock forest was dotted with caves eroded by weathering.

And from such a cave, dragons that were so large that it was hard to compare to anything I had ever encountered came out.

“Kreuk… thump…… !”

Looking at the gigantic beast with its front paws lowering and baring its teeth, Esilia thought that what was in front of her eyes was a dragon that had disappeared in the mountains at first.

But it wasn’t until she noticed that her back didn’t have wings, and she realized it was a drake. But it was hard to be sure of her own thoughts. As I said before, she was too big to be a Drake.

Twenty-five cubits seemed to exceed 8 cubits in height with a body length that seemed to exceed 25 cubits.

There was another reason why it was difficult for Ecilia to think that it was Drake. When she first reached her cave for the purpose of taking a break, the saintess of innocence placed her tired body on the protruding edge of a rock. It was a unique shape that was rolled up in a spiral shape, but it was such a rock that had a dull color like any other rock.

As anyone can easily guess if the story has flowed this far, it was Drake’s tail. And she woke up, until the drake’s tail was lifted up more and more.

As if ridiculing such a thought, sharp vertical pupils flashed from above. But that wasn’t the reason Ecilia was shocked.

She couldn’t believe that she was sitting on the skin of a creature. She really didn’t feel the texture of the scales of reptiles, enough to mistake it for a rock. More than anything else, there was something else that shocked her the most.

The scales bristled as Drake gently turned her head. Correspondingly, the original blue-green color gradually dyed Drake. When she was startled by the fact that her drake was wearing camouflage, the drake was already opening her mouth in front of her.

“Ah… ah… !”

No words came out of the saintess’ mouth. All she could do was drop her frightened voice.

“Ecilia – !”

A low, heavy roar shook the interior of the cave. Drake immediately turned her head towards them, her yellow eyes flashing. Drake then regretted the action to the point of his memory. As soon as he turned around, what flew into his field of vision, more specifically, what flew into his eyes was the Partizan’s spear blade.

“Kraaaaak – !”

An intelligible, terrifying scream that anyone who heard it would know was in pain, this time shaking the inside of the cave. As the pain blocked his vision, Drake began twisting his body frantically.

Of course, Celia, who was sitting on her tail, was on the verge of falling. As soon as the Death Knight saw it, he immediately pulled out the Partizan Blade. And she threw her body toward the bottom where Escelia was. Ecilia leaped into the air before falling, Zerfied’s strong arm catching her hand. Hugging her saintess, the Death Knight turned her head.

“Kreu… mandible… ! Kreuk… !”

Her left eye was already stained with red blood. Her one remaining right eye was full of miasma. Staring at the Death Knight and her holy maiden with that one remaining eye, Drake stepped forward with her front foot. Drake’s intentions were obvious to all, as he opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth.

To eat them.

At the very least, it didn’t seem like he was going to save it.

“Heeuk… ! Sigh… !”

The sound of her saintess’s breathing shook the Death Knight’s ears. She had no time to think. Zer Pied immediately pulled her headless horse out of her shadow. Having seated Ecilia on top of it, Zerpied grabbed her hand once more. It was only for a moment, but I could feel the saintess’s breathing becoming quieter.

As soon as he felt it, he held out his partizan towards Drake, who flicked his tongue. Drake was perplexed. The man’s posture seemed to be about to charge towards him. His guess was correct. The man in the armor charged towards him. He looked as if he was about to be eaten.

“Kwaaaaak – !”

However, the bewilderment soon disappeared. Rather, there was a cry of joy mixed with joy. Wouldn’t it be nice if it came to be eaten by itself? Drake was determined to give him the sharpness of his teeth, just as he desired.

Drake’s prediction came true.

However, he was only right about the fact that it ‘provides sharpness’. What he was given was himself. And most of all, what he gave was the Partizan’s spear blade. But there was no time to reflect on that fact. Drake was too busy screaming in pain. Everyone will. That is, if the upper jaw was pierced vertically with a spear blade.

Drake wished the pain would stop right now.

Today seemed like a pretty special day. It means that the people who think are becoming reality.

Death Knight looked at Drake’s dead body and turned her body. Ecilia trembled slightly as she hugged the headless horse’s body tightly.

“Ecilia, are you okay?”

Looking at her saintess nodding her head, the Death Knight nodded her head as well.

“Take a little rest until you calm down… ….”

The Death Knight turned her head around. Then he looked around her as if her head would turn the other way. She didn’t change anything. Only one drake’s body is strewn about in the cave. That was the problem.

Drake is not a dragon that lives alone.

From inside the cave, a mixture of cries were heard, as if the cave itself was about to fall apart.

Zer Pied gave up spurring his horse. What spread out in front of me was a small but dense space like a meadow of stones. Horses couldn’t run properly in this space. Without time to think about holding her saintess with one hand, she set her foot on the stone meadow.

Looking back, he still saw a group of huge drakes striding towards him on quadrupeds. Not just behind. I could see drakes on either side of them, riding the trees of stone, hunting for them.

Zerpied looked around. And he swallowed the curse in his stomach. The surroundings were still densely covered with stone trees. In this environment, the Partisans cannot be wielded at will. The fragments of stones that were created when he swung would obstruct his vision. Furthermore, the saintess might get hurt by being hit by shrapnel.

The only option he has is to continue beyond the Stone Meadow. Giving more strength to his arms that embraced the trembling saintess, he took a rough step.

But the stone trees did not disappear. I couldn’t even see the space where the density decreased. Death Knight once again swallowed the swear words.

‘Damn it, should I take any risks?’

It was then. A cave so large that it could not be compared to the cave where the drakes met was caught in sight. It was a good thing. If you lure it there, you will have space to kill the drakes. But at the same time, a bad thought crossed my mind. What if there was a creature more powerful than a group of drakes residing there? But there was no time to think. First of all, I had to overcome this situation.

That was just when he was about to enter the cave.

The Death Knight flew to his side.

It was a close moment. Huge pillars of flame stretched out horizontally. Could be said to be fortunate. The drakes that couldn’t be avoided couldn’t even leave their bones behind.

However, Death Knight had no room for such thoughts in his head. His mind was filled with only one thought.

‘Breath.’

And there is only one existence in this world that can emit breath.

‘Dragon.’

As if praising that his prediction was correct, a huge roar rushed toward my ears.

“Kwalala la la la – !”

It was a roar that seemed to shake the mountain range.
